PREFACE
THE present fasciculus contains facsimiles of a part of the great collection of dated
Greek codices in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris. The remainder will appear in the next
fasciculus.
No scholar needs to be told of the unwearied kindness of the Librarians and staff of this
Library, but we desire to offer to them our thanks. Moreover, we would like to offer especial
thanks to M. Lauer, Conservator of the Department of Manuscripts, who helped so much at
the time when this volume was being prepared, and to M. Omont whose unsurpassed knowledge
of Greek palaeography is exceeded only by the liberality with which for many years he
has placed it a t our disposal.
